Features
========

* Free software: LGPLv3 license
* Supports ``close(2)``, ``dup(2)``, ``dup2(2)``, ``dup3(2)``,
  ``epoll_create(2)``, ``epoll_create1(2)``, ``epoll_ctl(2)``,
  ``epoll_ctl(2)``, ``epoll_pwait(2)``, ``epoll_wait(2)``, ``pipe(2)``,
  ``pipe2(2)``, ``sigaddset(3)``, ``sigdelset(3)``, ``sigemptyset(3)``,
  ``sigfillset(3)``, ``sigismember(3)``, ``signalfd(2)``, ``sigprocmask(2)``
  and all the associated data types and constants.
* Supported on python 2.7+ and python 3.2+ and pypy
* All other useful glibc features are in scope (patches welcome!)
* ``from glibc import ...`` -- direct access to glibc functions and types via
  lazy imports, fast startup, low memory overhead, efficient calls to glibc
* Declarative code, easy to verify for correctness, easy to add more types,
  functions and constants.
* Translates error codes according to documentation (manual pages) of each
  supported function. Raises OSError with appropriate values and a customized,
  easy-to-understand error message.


0.4 (2014-10-21)
================

* Started tracking changes relevant to other people.
* First release with tests for constants and type sizes.
* Fixed issues with ``struct epoll_event`` (size mismatch).
* Added functions: ``close(2)``.
* Added constants: ``FD_SETSIZE``, ``EPOLLRDNORM``, ``EPOLLRDBAND``,
  ``EPOLLWRNORM``, ``EPOLLWRBAND``, ``EPOLLMSG``.
* Improved bundled demos (not part of release)
